Alucinary do your know? Are you aware of that
you need a higher quality of SD card than one
usually buy in cheap stores? Was it quality 6
or even 8 that one need and those that usually
sell is quality 4 or my poor memory fails me.

Here in Sweden we almost only have MicroSD
and not standard SD. So not sure why the guys
behind RPi chose such odd format?

Did not Barry write on his blog that he long for to
get his Mele 1000 to work and him a bit skeptical
to RPi? My poor reading read at his blog.

Barry recommends 6, though the guys actually at Raspberry Pi said minimum of 4... I have to admit that I myself have actually just shoved in a 4GB HC PNY SD card I had lying around so no idea what class it was though I suspect at least 4 - doing just fine for now

unfortunately price has dictated a lot of the design as it would be nice to use microSD, mini-HDMI, micro USB, mini ethernet etc etc and have an even smaller footprint to play with... then again a lot of the point is the low cost and that's definitely a bonus at £25 for a PC!_________________"My Universe is what happens to my eyes and ears.

Just now I booted from a sd card with only one 268MB partition (rest is unallocated space) and my puppy files are on a usb hd. Also a usb stick should work.

So if you have at least a 4GB usb stick, a 256MB sd card should be enough. Maybe the class doesn't matter in this case. I can't test it, because I kow that I have an adapter for a micro sd and at least one very old 2GB sd card, but they're lost in (my) space.

rhadon that is cool.
So the big ones cost less than the small ones with adapter?
But if you have a lot of micro-SD and none of the big ones
then to travel to inner city or pay for the cost of sending it
that would be two times the price of another RPi?

Rhadon you made me smile with this one
Ich verwende "frugal", und das ist gut so.

I guess that sweden is a little bit more expensive than germany, but this is hard to believe. I think that micro sds with adapter (at least 256MB) are also working. But it's a guess, I can't test, and sometimes reality doesn't care about what I think.

Also running always as root is like walking naked trough the town (for them). I don't want to tell anybody that frugal is better than full, or running as root is better. It's my preference. If anybody doesn't like it, is this my problem? I don't think so.

yes that thread and others like it.
Via APC and Mele 1000 and the MK802
and the Norwegian FXI something?
and the Korean thing too. Forgot name.

I like those of these that can give output
to VGA and that have LAN on the card
and not just Wifi and I love most that some
or all of them have Micro SD instead of standard.

I'm not against RPi at all. I love that the schools
can make use of it. But personally it force me
to abandon many very good LCD screens
that I ahve at home. Only one of them can take
HDMI and all the rest require VGA.

So to let 4 good LCD go to scrapbox that is not good at all.
Sure I have the money but it is not a good way to live that
resource greedy askingfor HDMI all the time when most
monitors are VGA

So I want puppy to exist for both RPi and for all the small
USB sticks and the small smart TV boards and sticks._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
